It took trial and error and a few days but I finally figured out how to cut oranges and apples into quarters with one hand and two steak knives. Scissors action. I can peel clementines with my left hand but not a navel orange. (I eat 2-3 bags of oranges a week.) Apples of course are a hand fruit as George Costanza would say but I like them cut up. So there’s that to be said for learning to use my precious left arm, which I’m protecting like the valuable and irreplaceable appendage it is. I've taken it for granted all these years. I’m so tired of asking for help from my very patient housemates.

I was just feeding the birds and then this happened
In brighter news here’s Miss Onnie upon awakening in Brooklyn. She’s holding a crocheted snail that my sister made for her. I don’t think it has a name yet other than Snail. Snail is always in bed with Onnie and stays there during the day.
Breaking my right arm stinks.
I’m blogging from my phone. An experiment.
